EDUC 17 What Works in Education?

In a federally-mandated era of “evidence-based” education, what works in K-12 education? How do we know what works, and what does not? What does research show about which aspects of the classroom and school (other than content and curriculum, or what is taught) have a meaningful impact on student growth, learning, and achievement? We will consider topics such as class size, ability grouping and tracking, school start times, summer school, homework, direct instruction, problem- and project-based learning, personalized learning, and teacher education.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
